Welcome to Thailand! You will be welcomed on arrival at Phuket Airport and transferred to the picturesque seaside town of Phuket. Check in to your Hotel / Resort and the rest of the day is free for you to explore Phuket on your own or we suggest you take an optional excursion to the Phuket Fantasea Show.

Phi Phi is approximately 50 minutes away from Phuket by speedboat. The islands consist of 2 small islands: Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh. Ferry ports and hotels can be found on the first, while the latter is uninhabited offering magnificent beaches. Loh Sama and Maya Bay on Phi Phi Leh are the locations for the Hollywood film “The Beach”. Note: National Park Fees of approximately THB 400 per person (to be paid locally).

Take a 30-minute relaxed trek on the back of an elephant, through an oil palm tree plantation, a shady forest, and along a small river. Back at the camp, you can buy them a treat of bananas and hand feed them (they are very gentle). Continue to the Emerald Pool (also known as Crystal Pool) in the Khao Phra Bang Kram Nature Reserve, where you can follow the trail through the forest (there are two routes, 800m and 1.2km respectively) to the amazingly-hued spring water pools. You can explore these trails independently, as well as stop and swim in the main Emerald Pool. The Blue Pool, which is the source of the spring, and not swimmable, is a further 600m trek from there. Approximately 1.5 hours are given here. There will also be a 45-minute stop at the nearby Klong Thom Hot Springs site where you can soak in the mineral-rich water, in manmade pools, or in the smooth stone Jacuzzi tubs hewn naturally out of the rock by the flow of the water.
